Coral-eating crown-of-thorns seastars (CoTS, Acanthaster spp.) are major contributors to the
coral reef crises across the Indo-Pacific region. Until recently, CoTS throughout the Indo …

Abstract The Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris; CoTS) is arguably the most
destructive non-human animal to coral reefs, significantly impeding coral survival in the face …

Natural regeneration of degraded reefs relies on the recruitment of larvae to restore
populations. Intervention strategies are being developed to enhance this process through …

Function-based studies have opened a new chapter in our understanding of coral reefs.
Unfortunately, we are opening this chapter as the world's reefs rapidly transform. In this …

Recurrent population irruptions of Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS, Acanthaster cf.
solaris) are among the foremost causes of coral mortality on Australia's Great Barrier Reef …

Recent and recurrent population irruptions of the western Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish
(Acanthaster cf. solaris) have had a major effect on the biological structure of coral reefs in …

Intraspecific and habitat-mediated responses to chemical cues play key roles in structuring
populations of marine species. We investigated the behaviour of herbivorous-stage juvenile …

Population irruptions of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) remain a major
cause of coral reef degradation throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans and are inherently …

Species interactions can influence key ecological processes that support community
assembly and composition. For example, coralline algae encompass extensive diversity and …

The global problem of ocean acidification and localised decline in water quality are major
threats to coral reefs worldwide. This study examined the individual and interactive impacts …
